Features

Overview: The
Monster 400DFO Digital Optical Cable features specially tuned fiber and
precision polished fiber terminations to minimize internal reflections and
signal dispersion for more accurate signal transfer and smooth, natural sound.
An advanced InsuLight jacket further minimizes digital jitter and time
distortion. And because the bitstream is transferred optically, there are no
annoying buzzes and hums, just great digital sound.

Monster Cable, 400 dfo, Digital Optical Cable

Excellent quality digital optical cable. I have used other brands and they do not provide the same quality, durability, and warranty. Although Monster cable costs a little more it is well worth the difference.

Monster Cable 400dfo

This Monster Cable works for me!

Written By BUBS, Charlottesville, VA on Saturday, November 16, 2013

Each time I wanted to browse the web on my Smart TV, to get sound I had to go to "tools" and switch from the external or surround speakers to the TV speakers and do a few other volume manipulations. If I was already on the web, "tools" wasn't accessible and I had to go back to the TV setting and start all over. And this became annoying. Eric Huffman suggested using this monster cable to hook up from the TV's digital output to the appropriate digital input jack on my "older" receiver and then changing the input on the front of the receiver. Now listening to all Smart TV applications through surround sound is a reality, sounds great, and is easily accessible!! Plus, this option was a lot cheaper than having to buy a new receiver!

Pros:Inexpensive way to get great surround sound when web browsing through an older receiver.

Connections too short for ZVOX 555/LG42LH55

I rate 1 star as I can't rate no star! Was ready to send ZVOX555 sound bar back as didn't seem to work. While talking with Crutchfield tech, I pushed connectors in and got sound. Tech said connectors too short, so I returned for full refund (no problems).

good quality, difficult fit.

As usual, good quality from Monster. Crutchfield advisor was very helpful finding and recommending what I needed. Product arrived VERY quickly. The only complaint is the cable doesn't fit the sockets securely and sometimes must be pushed back in to function properly. It's used to connect a T.V. to a soundbar, so the components may be the problem, not the cable . This is the only reason it didn't get five stars. Crutchfield help and service, five stars!

Pros:Good quality. Reasonable price for the quality. Good advice from Crutchfield.

Cons:Didn't want to fit component sockets securely. Not necessarily a problem with the cable.

Excellent Quality, Excellent Sound, Expensive

It's hard (almost impossible) to find anything to complain about in the quality of a Monster Cable product, and their TOSLink optical digital audio cable upholds that reputation nicely. Very well made, and produces excellent sound, as a digital transfer cable should. Realistically, there are going to be much -much- cheaper products that will produce the same sound - hey - that's the point of digital loss-less transfer, right? So, you should acknowledge that this is a bit of a vanity purchase. Having said that, it is totally hassle-free, with good-fitting connectors, and it -looks expensive- too. These facts make this cable worth its price only if it is to be used on your high-end equipment where you are striving for not only the best sound, but to show everyone that admires your system that you have made every effort to achieve the finest quality in equipment as well as sound. If you are just going to hook these up where they'll be invisible, you may be spending extra money unnecessarily

Pros:You won't achieve better sound from any other optical digital audio cable and their quality means they will be hassle-free to install, and beautiful to look at.

Cons:They are awfully expensive and there are cheaper alternatives that will be functionally equivalent. This cost them one star in the review. Functionally, they're five star all the way

Never a complaint with Monster!!

I have been using Monster Cable products now for 15+ years and I have yet to find any of their analog or digital cables that have failed. Even under any sort of application (home or vehicle audio) or abuse. GREAT PRODUCT!!

Good Cable, Good Length

Good cable at a hard to find length (4 meters). I bought this cable for my Gaming system, so the length was perfect for it. And of course you get quality construction that comes with all Monster cables. I would like to have seen the HexMesh-Protective Jacket around the cable like most of my Monster cables have but a good cable none the less.
